Top ten cricketers from Punjab

#4. Navjot Sidhu

Navjot Sidhu could destroy strong bowling attacks

Nicknamed as 'Sixer Sidhu' for his massive sixes, Navjot Sidhu was an imposing batsman capable of tearing apart bowlers and also playing long innings. He had an unconventional technique that included several gaping holes in it, but what made him successful was his grit and a never-say-die attitude.

He stone-walled against West Indies to bat for 11 hours in 1996/7 to display his patience and a few years back, trashed eight sixes against Sri-Lanka to exhibit his muscle power. However, his finest achievement is his string of four consecutive fifties in 1996 world cup and four fifties in five innings against Australia in 1997/8.

He scored more than seven thousand international runs in his 16-year career and featured in 51 Tests and 136 ODIs.
